Today, the PAX confirmed the best-laid plans of mice and men go astray. YHC was expecting 16 or more PAX to post, allowing eight teams to work through a fun series of stations. We ended up with 15 PAX … one short. Since no-one wanted to exercise (or carry a log) alone, the PAX helped YHC adjust the stations, saving the beat-down.
WARM UP:
SSH; Windmills; LBACs; Moroccan Nightclubs; Downward Dog; Merkins
THE THANG:
The PAX split into pairs, then carried coupons between exercise stations. Coupons included a log; a sandbag train; a heavier log; two sand-filled buckets, and a bonus tricycle. Stations included:
(1) CB curls; CB presses; CB high-pull;
(2) 4-count step-ups, derkins; and 4-count lunges; and
(3) dips; mountain climbers; squat jumps.
All exercises performed with a smile on the PAX’s faces.
THE MARY:
Unknown abdominal exercises; box cutters.
COT:
During recent travels, YHC visited a hotel gym. Despite having “heat,” “lights,” and a “roof,” it was awful— with unfriendly gym goers. This reminded YHC that it is the PAX that make posting in the gloom rewarding. Unlike a New-Year Resolution gym membership, friendships forged by carrying coupons and lifting cinder-blocks (or even helping the Q count to fifteen) endure. Thanks for coming out. And next time, bring one more friend.
